So will this work good or is there a better option?? Should I use animate??
(I will increase step_size to 4 this is just for a test) Please do not reply by telling me to use the default glide movement :)

proc/Glide(mob/ref,Dir,lag)
    set waitfor=0
    for(var/i=1; i<=16; i++)
        if(Dir==NORTH)      ref.pixel_y+=1
        if(Dir==SOUTH)      ref.pixel_y-=1
        if(Dir==EAST)       ref.pixel_x+=1
        if(Dir==WEST)       ref.pixel_x-=1
        if(Dir==NORTHEAST)  {ref.pixel_y+=1;ref.pixel_x+=1}
        if(Dir==NORTHWEST)  {ref.pixel_y+=1;ref.pixel_x-=1}
        if(Dir==SOUTHEAST)  {ref.pixel_y-=1;ref.pixel_x+=1}
        if(Dir==SOUTHWEST)  {ref.pixel_y-=1;ref.pixel_x-=1}
        sleep(lag/16)

    step(ref,Dir,16)
    ref.pixel_y=0
    ref.pixel_x=0

All of this is just... why? I mean I guess theoretically it should work, but just... why?

well it does work but should I do that or animate?? I want a glide movement with pixel movement. But I do not want to change step values.

In response to Victorqr
This "glide" is purely visual. You'd have to adjust bounding boxes to account for the visual/actual physical location disparities.

yeah I just want to simulate the default glide not change bound values they are handled by step
